<p>Hi,
Help a guy out. I'm interested in being a liberal Arts major but not in history. What liberal arts major least likely requires freguent writing of essays and long papers. A "light" liberal arts major. Is there any? and no i prefer not to major in business, math or science.
thanks,</p>
<p>The job market demands excellent communications skills - that's why universities place so much emphasis on writing.</p>
<p>Since they are not "vocational" (e.g. economics) degrees, pretty much all LA majors are going to involve a good deal of writing. Some upper level classes will have a single large final essay as the only graded component of the course so there is really no way to dodge the writing requirements.</p>
<p>One suggestion - don't rule anything out at this point. The university experience of a subject is VERY different from what one sees in HS. The fact the professors are actually experts in what they're teaching (by and large) and are usually pretty enthusiastic makes a HUGE difference.</p>
<p>And of course, there's no shame in putting "undecided" down for your major. Most people change majors at least a couple times before they graduate.</p>
<p>If you're looking for something easy, something with the word "studies" in the name usually leads you in the right direction. eg "African American studies" "Asian American studies" "Legal studies" etc.</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
